Definitions
- Fuel cells are electrochemical energy converters, which are characterized by their high efficiency.
- Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEMs) are distinguished by their high power density and low power-to-weight ratio among the various types of fuel cells.
- Polyether ketones consisting predominantly of the repeating unit -O-Ar-CO-Ar are disclosed in EP-A-0 152 161; sulfonated, strictly alternating polyether ketones with the repeating unit -O-Ar-CO-Ar- in J. Polym. Sci .: Vol. 23, 2205-2223, 1985.
- the structure of the polyether ketones is done here by electrophilic, and not as described in EP 0152161 by nucleophilic attack.
- the polymers are sulfonated using sulfur trioxide using triethyl phosphate in dichloroethane.
- Another sulfonation method used in the literature is chlorosulfonation with chlorosulfonic acid.
- degradation of the molecular weight is also observed in this method. It concludes the amidation of Acid chlorides.
- the use in fuel cells or property profiles, which might suggest the use in fuel cells are not mentioned.
- a little-studied polyether ketone is the mentioned, strictly aging polymer having the empirical formula -O-Ar-CO-Ar-, which is produced, inter alia, by Victrex Plc, Great Britain.
- the sulfonation of the polymer may, for. B. be achieved by the addition of oleum to the sulfuric acid solution of the polymer.
- the suitability of such aromatic, non-fluorinated polymers for use in fuel cells is in the known literature, however, due to insufficient stability of the polymer membranes under the extreme conditions prevailing in fuel cells, contested (A. Steck, Proc. 1 st Inter. Symp. On New Materials For Fuel Cell Systems, Montreal 1995, pp 74).
- the glass transition temperature of PEK (141 ° C., see EP 0 152 161 B1) differs only insignificantly compared to PEEK (143 ° C.), crystallinity 30%.
- sulfonated polyether ketones are based on of Victrex PEK with a comparable IEC, stable in boiling water for more than 50 h.
- the electron-deficient structure of the polyether ketone polymer backbone due to the absence of -O-Ar-O units appears to be particularly suitable for fuel cell applications.
- Highly sulfonated polymer membranes are of particular interest for low or no humidification fuel cells, but also for so-called super-cap capacitors.
- EP-A-0688 824 mentions membranes of homogeneous polymer alloys based on polyether ketones, polyether sulfones and a third, hydrophilic polymer. The addition of the third hydrophilic polymer is necessary to achieve sufficient humidifying properties of the polymers.
- the object of the present invention is to provide high-performance membranes with high proton conductivity from cost-effective materials, which furthermore have high chemical and mechanical stability and are therefore particularly suitable for use in fuel cells.
- the performance of the material in the fuel cell should be superior to previous standard fluorinated materials such as Nafion.
- the present invention solves this problem and relates to membranes containing 30-99, preferably 55 to 99 wt.%, Of a sulfonated, strictly alternating polyether ketone (A) having repeating units of the formula (I) -Ar-O-Ar'-CO-, wherein Ar and Ar 'are independently divalent aromatic radicals, Ar is preferably a phenylene radical having para and / or meta bonds and Ar 'is preferably a phenylene, naphthylene, biphenylene, anthrylene radical having an ion exchange capacity of 1.3 to 4.0 meq (-SO 3 H) / g (polymer) and 0.5-70% by weight, in particular 1.0 to 50% by weight, of a partially, non or perfluorinated polyethersulfone, polyimide or a derivative of these polymers (B), which is preferably soluble in organic solvents.
- A sulfonated, strictly alternating polyether ketone having repeating units of the formula (
- the ion exchange capacity (hereinafter "IEC") is determined by elemental analysis of the washed and dried polymers by determining the ratio of carbon to sulfur (C / S quotient).
- Soluble polymers in the sense of this description are polymers which are soluble at 25 ° C. to at least 0.1 g per liter in organic solvents.
- the second polymer (B) such as a polyethersulfone of the formula -Ar-O-Ar'-SO 2 - or a polyimide or a derivative of these polymers, can be mixed with the sulfonated polyether ketones, without that the conductivity breaks down.
- the second polymer (B) such as a polyethersulfone of the formula -Ar-O-Ar'-SO 2 - or a polyimide or a derivative of these polymers
- the polymers used according to the invention preferably contain aromatic radicals which optionally bear substituents, such as alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or halogen.
- the E modulus in water at 60 ° C is significantly improved (see examples), which has a positive effect on the strength under the influence of differential pressure and at the edges of the membrane, where the humidified gases unhindered and without mechanical support by the Electrode to the membrane can affect.
- the modulus of elasticity at 60 ° C in water increases up to 540 MPa compared to 7 MPa for the pure material with still very good conductivity values.
- the performance in the fuel cell is good for these membrane materials, as shown in the examples.
- the modulus values are in comparison with the conventional polyether ketones, such as. Victrex® and Hostatec®, lower, but this results in a significantly improved elongation at break, which is crucial for a good stability and the use of the membranes in fuel cells.
- the membranes of the invention are characterized in that they have an elongation at break of ⁇ 200 in an E modulus (determined as the slope of the tangent at 1.2 MPa) in water at 60 ° C of at least 90 MPa, in particular 100 to 700 MPa %, in particular 200 to 800%.
- the membranes of the invention are therefore ideal for use in fuel cells, in particular for direct methanol fuel cells, or high performance capacitors and for use in electrodialysis, the membrane in the latter case preferably has a thickness of at least 30 microns.
- a content of 5 to 25 wt.% Of the polymer (B) for use in direct methanol fuel cells, a content of 5 to 50 wt.% Preferably.
- the sulfonated polyether ketone (A) is reacted with the polymer (B) in a weight ratio in the range of 0.01 to 0.5 (B / A) in a solvent such as N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide (DMAc), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or solvent mixtures containing water and 1,4-dioxane and acetonitrile, in Solution brought.
- NMP N-methylpyrrolidone
- DMF dimethylformamide
- DMAc dimethylacetamide
- DMSO dimethyl sulfoxide
